Jennifer Aniston is now on Instagram!
It only took a single post from the “Friends” sitcom actress to make her Instagram profile crash down due to a massive number of fans flocking to hit the “Follow” button.
For her first Instagram entry, Aniston posted a rare selfie with her co-stars in “Friends” including Courteney Cox (Monica), Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe), Matthew Perry (Chandler), David Schwimmer (Ross) and Matt LeBlanc (Joey).
Aniston played the role of Rachel in the popular 1994 sitcom series about six friends in Manhattan. The series, which aired for ten years, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year.
“And now we’re Instagram FRIENDS too. HI INSTAGRAM,” wrote Aniston in the caption. Her profile (@jenniferanniston) has gained more than 7.3M followers.
Several excited fans reportedly experienced trouble in becoming followers of the TV actress after it crashed due to the high traffic.
The actress gained more than 100,000 followers in just one hour and hundreds of thousands of likes in her first and only post before her Instagram profile crashed, The Guardian reported.
“… Some people are having issues following Jen's profile. The volume of interest is incredible!” said an Instagram representative to E! News in a statement. “ We are actively working on a solution and hope to have it up and running smoothly again shortly."
Apple TV greeted her through a story on the same social media platform: “Congratulations on breaking Instagram today, @jenniferaniston.”
Aside from eager followers, Aniston has also been flooded by warm welcome remarks from her celebrity friends.
“I’m so glad they’re still there for you,” said Ellen DeGeneres (@theellenshow) in a comment in a reference to the American sitcom’s theme song, The Rembrandt’s “I’ll Be There for You”.
In a welcome post, Jennifer Garner attached a one-minute video clip of a LEGO recreation of a scene from the “Friends” show.
“Welcome wonderful @jenniferaniston to Instagram,” she wrote. Aniston replied, “Genius!”
Three weeks prior to Aniston’s arrival on Instagram, Matt Leblanc created a post reminiscing a time from 25 years ago which he said still seemed like yesterday to him. He simply tagged Aniston through a hashtag #jenniferaniston.
“You don’t have to # me anymore,” Aniston commented.
The actress is currently following 110 people on Instagram including Jennifer Garner, Maria Sharapova, Mindy Kaling, Jessica Seinfeld and Pharrell Williams.
